Designing Medical Devices That
Minimize Healthcare
Costs
Because AEDs are often used by a novice in
emergency situations, it is critical to simplify
the interface, instructions, and operations,
which are all key considerations in the design
process. (Credit: BlackHägen Design)

oday's necessity to reduce
healthcare costs is generating
a greater demand for medical
electronics equipment that
improves and expands patient
diagnostics inside and outside healthcare
facilities. For instance, portable medical
instruments such as glucose meters,
blood pressure monitors, oxygen meters,
and automated external defibrillators
(AED) have undergone many design considerations
to be developed for doctors,
paramedics, public use, and at home with
at-risk patients. This article delves into the
design considerations, challenges, and
regulatory aspects of medical electronics
and provides a case study involving automated
external defibrillators (AEDs).
Enhancing Electronic Medical
Device Capabilities
Most medical devices for use by the
public or at home are being designed
with communication capabilities to provide
continuous information to caregivers
almost anywhere, which can further
help decrease healthcare costs. Handheld
devices are also improving various
diagnostic procedures in medical offices
and for at-home use.

Wearable electronic medical devices
for at-home use are expanding in the
breadth of applications. For instance, a
wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) device
can detect atrial fibrillation through
the electrode pads. Designed with communication
capabilities, these ECG devices
send readings to the patient's doctor.
While these electronic medical devices
hold the potential to deliver better-quality
care, they require a lot of user research
in the initial design process. Interactive
discovery methods identify latent user
needs and characterize usage scenarios
such as at-home use, in public or by an
